64 bit sql

NavStudent

Hello I had a question about 64 bit sql.

I know that the application finsql.exe is 32 bit. but the sql server executable runs on 64 bit executable.
Does sql stores the (indexes) in 64 bit?

Ofcourse the data is stored in 32 bit, otherwise if you pass 2.1 billion entry no in GL Navision client won't accept it.

So will navision client every be released in 64 bit?
will the service tier in 5.1 be in 64 bit?

thanks

It is the same database whether you run 32 or 64 bit SQL. 64 bit does not change anything about the data storage. The advantages to 64 bit are on the processing side as it provide for a larger set of system resources. There is a SQL 2005 whitepaper titled "Advantages of a 64-bit Environment". It gives a good overview of the advantages of 64 bit systems.
